Mayan languages form part of the Mesoamerican language area, an area of linguistic convergence developed throughout millennia of interaction between the peoples of Mesoamerica. All Mayan languages display the basic diagnostic traits of this linguistic area. For example, all use relational nouns instead of prepositions to indicate spatial relationships. They also possess grammatical and typological features that set them apart from other languages of Mesoamerica, such as the use of ergativity in the grammatical treatment of verbs and their subjects and objects, specific inflectional categories on verbs, and a special word class of "positionals" which is typical of all Mayan languages.

Plot: Mayan is having difficulties fitting into her Jewish religious boarding school. While questioning her identity she deals with her feelings for Baruch, a young worker in the fields near her school. At last, the headmaster confronts Mayan with an ultimatum: conform or be expelled. Seeking for an answer Mayan drags Baruch to a naive romantic journey of self discovery.
